Saddam’s nuclear ambitions were problematic. Also it is my opinion that it was necessary to clean up Iraq and develop its oil reserves prior to dealing more aggressively with Saudi Arabia’s spread of radical Wahabi Islam.

By all reports Iraq wasn't doing anything with the money that should be objectionable to us

By all reports, Iraq was filling mass graves at about 30,000 people a year on average, supporting terrorist organizations all over the place, using the UN money to starve its people while paying bribes to the Russians and French to lift the sanctions, which was working.

Nothing that should be objectionable to us in all this? A guy puts 300,000 or 400,000 people into mass graves (they're still counting), and it shouldn't be objectionable to us?

Do you have anything to say to the modern victims of tyranny?
